java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/faces/facelets/tag/jstl/core/IterationStatus

Question

I'm using ui:repeat in my facelet to iterate over a collection as following:

<ui:repeat var="name" value="#{loginBean.names}">  
                <h:outputLabel value="#{name}" />
</ui:repeat>

But it gives following exception:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Faces Servlet] in context with path [/eSchool] threw exception [com/sun/faces/facelets/tag/jstl/core/IterationStatus] with root cause
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/faces/facelets/tag/jstl/core/IterationStatus

Advance thanks for help.

Answer 1

You seem to be running a barebones JSP/Servlet container like Tomcat and not a fullworthy Java EE container like Glassfish. A JSP/Servlet container does not ship with JSTL while Facelets needs it for the <ui:repeat> , <c:xxx> and <fn:xxx> tags/functions.

Download jstl-1.2.jar , drop it in your webapp's /WEB-INF/lib and rinse and this problem should disappear.
